    It doesn't look like your server supports PHP...

    From that, it doesn't look like you are running *any* version of PHP to be honest.

    The only other thing I can think of is maybe the PHP extension on the server was changed from the default .php to something else (maybe .php3 or .php4). You are going to need to ask your sysadmin that.

    I am building a website around a PHP forum site i created.
    I installed the Insite Search Engine Script from this site.
    And recieved a APIkey from Google. then uploaded the files to my website.

    I've put the files outside of the PHPBB folder, as i wanted to build around it. and can;t add to it much anway as it's only a free forum. But i can build a site to link to it and still have plenty ofspace to do so.

    Anyway, i tried putting the files inside and in the root directory of the web address to the same effect. No results when searching for a keyname i know is in the site.

    I just out of interest went to one of those free keydensity logger sites, and searched for the same thing and it came up with a 75% density for that keyname

    As far as i can tell the Host uses PHP v4.4

    and other than no results i don't get any funky errors.

    One other question. How does the search actually work.
    I mean, does recieving that google key send a mesage to them to search my site and then at a later date i'll recieve some sort of confirmation. or does it automatically log everything in the site for search. I'm not sure i understand it properly.


    The only thin i have iin the root directory is an index page and one other page, the rest of the site is the PHP Forum which is in phpBB folder.

    Well, thanks to my host not installing php correctly have lost more hair that i didn't have in the first place:mad: . when i said that they had installed php a few months ago they had but it was a corrupt install. so once they installed it correctly i got the search to work. my only problem now is it's only searching a pdf file and that is it??? i have since put a bunch of other pages on the site and it still continues to only search that pdf file?????

    thanks.

    That's the only page Google has from your site... [search=google]site:www.cityofelyria.org[/search]


    You would need to get more links to your site in order for Google to get more content from it.

    That's the frontpage for the whole site.
    Within is linked a MSN Group and a PHP Forum, plus other pages.
